| Bear's cage | Weather | 1: Slang for a region of storm-scale rotation, in a thunderstorm, which is wrapped in heavy precipitation. This area often coincides with a radar hook echo and/or mesocyclone, especially one associated with an High Precipitation (HP) storm. The term reflects the danger involved in observing such an area visually, which must be done at close range in low visibility. (references) | |
